June 4th 2010 - Rumford Court

Designed by local architect William Culshaw between 1832 and 1836, Rumford Court has a very interesting history. Home of the two American Embassies, The Confederates and Unionists a stone throw from each other. During the American Civil War the area surrounding Rumford Court would have been full of spies - for over the water in Cammell Lairds the Alabama was being built. Well worth a visit - the American House sign can still be seen just above the big black door. Another hidden gem in Liverpool.
